The mileage quotes are correct. And there is a telephone-ticketing fee when you do not book an AAdvantage award at aa.com.
Great, thanks! Found MLE-CMB to arrive at 22:40 on the 17th and booked this segment through ba.com. Also, found CMB-AUH-LAX on EY to depart at 04:35 on the 18th for 29 hrs total or CMB-BKK-HKG-LAX on CX/AA to depart 02:25 on the 18th for 21 hrs total. I am steering towards the latter itinerary, but I am afraid of any possible delays or issues from MLE-CLE, getting baggages, going through security, etc. From everyone's experience, is it ok to have about 4 hours leeway with CX/AA or just take the EY itinerary to be safe? TIA
